Arbutus Block to Boot - courage, guts, go for it!

Thought I’d show you how I attack a piece of found wood in this case Arbutus. Starting with pic 2, I cut the stump into a manageable piece, sketch a rough outline of a boot pic 3 with idea from old boot in pic 1. Then comes the bandsaw and away we go. Cut, cut , cut and grind and end up with a boot as in pic 1. This one start to finish was 3 hours. It still requires some spit and polish and we are done. Enjoy!
